Welcome and thank you for your interest in learning more about City of York Council and our Assistant Director of Housing role.
Lead one of local government's most important housing improvement and transformation agendas whilst shaping the future of housing in one of the UK's most historic and ambitious cities.
This is a pivotal and exciting opportunity for an inspiring leader to help shape York's future prosperity and deliver lasting benefits for our residents, businesses and communities.
The city is entering an exciting period of transformation. The Council is leading the development of the new Local Plan (York 2045), working closely with the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority, developers and partners to unlock significant opportunities for growth.
Housing is central to that future. From delivering new homes and preventing homelessness to maintaining housing stock and supporting thriving neighbourhoods, the service touches the lives of thousands of residents every day.
We're not looking for someone to maintain the status quo; we're looking for a leader who will help us reshape services, strengthen delivery and lead the next phase of improvement.
About the role
As Assistant Director of Housing, you will provide strategic and operational leadership for a broad portfolio including housing delivery, homelessness services, housing options, temporary accommodation, resettlement, landlord services, private sector housing, housing standards, adaptations and responsive repairs. You will also lead the council's landlord function, managing approximately 7,430 homes and a large, diverse workforce delivering services that support thousands of residents every day.
This is a role with genuine breadth and influence. Working closely with colleagues, elected members, partners and communities, you will lead the next phase of service improvement, identifying opportunities to redesign services, improve processes and embed a culture focused on outcomes and continuous improvement.
You will find a role that offers both professional challenge and genuine influence. York is large enough to provide the complexity, scale and ambition that make local government leadership rewarding, yet small enough to enable you to make decisions, build relationships and see the impact of your work. This high-profile role offers an outstanding opportunity to make a significant difference while further developing your career.
